Words of Wisdom Wednesday #5

"As a dog returns to his own vomit,

so a fool repeats his folly."

(Proverbs 26:11)

When I first read the first part of this scripture, I immediately thought, "Ewww!". Think about it. The dog eats his own vomit. How digusting!! And it's only because the dog doesn't know any better. So, being that the dog is not really all that intelligent in his eyes the smart thing to do is return to his vomit and eat it......wrong.....and.....Yuck!!!

In most cases, people vomit because they are very sick. And whatever is in their system making them feel deathly ill, they have to let it out one way or another. One of those ways is vomitting. But after we were to vomit, do we return to it ready to chow down..........No!!! I don't think so. For one thing that's gross.

My point is why keep doing the same thing over and over again, when it is no good for you spiritually, physically, and/or mentally.

Make up your mind to change. Stop returning to the same ol' junk. It's time to stop going back to the junk yard. Get out of those unhealthy relationships. Let God take you out of the pit and place you in the palace. You see, once you allow God to deliver you to the mountain top of your struggles, don't you dare go back to the valley. That's not wise, not wise at all.

It is very important that you understand, when you tread back into the dirt and grime that God has deliver you from, you are only like a dog returning to his vomit. Better yet, a pig going back into his stinky, dirty mud.

Be wise and learn from your mistakes. Refuse to be like a fool repeating his folly. Recognize yourself as new creature in Christ.

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he or she is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new," (2 Cor 5:17).

If you feel yourself returning back to a place where you know you don't need to be, pray and ask God to help you resist the temptation of that nasty, ol' and dumb and stupid devil. You have the victory over him. You are more than a conqueror in Christ Jesus. Once you do that, this is what God is going to do for you.......

The LORD God will be your strength;
He will make your feet like deer's feet,
And He will make you walk on your high hills.

(Habakkuk 3:19)

Once again, please be wise and don't return back. Press forward. Most importantly, learn to recognize what God is doing right now in your life and what He is going to do. This has been your Words of Wisdom Wednesday. Stay Bless in Jesus' name.
